: What is the name of this Illustration style? What is the name/type of illustration in which the fill color of an object is slightly offset from its stroke? How is this effect achieved?

I'm not really sure if this style has a particular name, but as Webster already said it springs from traditional printing techniques where color plates could get slightly misaligned (sometimes on purpose).

In modern day graphic design some designers try to add such effects to resemble the look and feel of "old school" printing techniques.

If you want to read more about this, here is an article about the retro trend in design: www.ceros.com/blog/design-trend-modern-retro-touch/
On how it is made: I think the stroke and the fill are just 2 objects that are slightly offset.
